I really loved this ADABOX project the most. I had fun with the installed DigiKey game and then installed the NES emulator.

After a few minutes of play, the A button stopped clicking and presses refused to be acknowledged by the PyGamer. I looked for anything interfering with it and didn't see anything. I kept pressing it and it started making a slight clicky feel but was not sensed by the controller. I took it out of the case and measured the voltage across it. It was 3.72 volts and didn't change when the button was pressed. The B button measured the same but the voltage went to 0 when pressed. I used some DustOff to make sure noting was in it but all my attempts to recover it failed.

This seems to be a similar problem that PDXMike had in an earlier post except mine worked for a while before failing. I made this a separate post because I was worried it wouldn't be seen if it was a reply to the other post.

As I mentioned in the first post, I was able to measure the voltage across the pins on both buttons and it was 3.72 volts. When button A is pressed, nothing happens. When button B is pressed, the voltage drops to zero and the press is displayed on the test screen.

Just now I took a breadboard jumper wire and touched across the leads of the button. When connected, the display lights up the circle for button A.

My bad, your original post should have clued me in that it was a bad button. Please email support@adafruit.com and ask for a replacement PyGamer to be sent to you, referencing this forum post. If you can include your original order number that would be great. Thank you!
